Chapter 583 Competitors

"...Thank you, thank you to all the guests who came to the scene, and to the audience who watched our ribbon-cutting ceremony of the New Tiangong Space Station in front of computers, TVs, and mobile phones."

"The official putting into use of the New Tiangong Space Station means that our people on earth have opened a new chapter in exploring the stars. It has changed from an undertaking that only a few scientists and astronauts can participate in to an undertaking that all human beings can participate in."

"Since the previous International Space Station was unfortunately "retired", this heavy burden has fallen on our Arc Light Group. As an emerging aerospace group, our Arc Light Group has limited capabilities, but we are also very happy to do something for mankind. .”

"Haha, okay, that's all I have to say, the rest of the time will be left to our General Manager Sun..."

Seeing Dong Chen laughing and joking happily on TV, the people in the United States who were watching the live broadcast were not very happy, especially those in the conference room of the American Space Agency.

Although Dong Chen is very handsome and has a shiny bald head, and he also used the word "retirement" in his words, it was still "retirement with regret", but the expression on his face was clearly visible, and there was no feeling that he had any regrets at all. a feeling of.

Also, at the end, you laugh like a hammer.

Just change someone, what a joke!

Do you really think others can't hear your gloating tone?

At this time, sitting at the head of the conference table, Valker, the director of the US Space Agency who rarely appeared, motioned to his assistant to turn off the video, then he knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Okay, there is nothing to see now, we Let’s talk about the new space station.”

Others saw that the director was unhappy and stopped talking about the Xintian Palace Space Station. However, they remembered that the director had asked him to watch this live video, but now he asked him to turn it off.

This is really...the director can do whatever he wants.

In fact, Valcke did not expect that Dong Chen, as the chairman of such a large group, would be so immature. As a public figure, he would speak like this. Isn't it obvious that he would leave a loophole to be attacked?

As a veteran who is involved in official circles, he would definitely not do this, so after seeing this, he couldn't stand it, even if he was the one who was allowed to watch the live broadcast in the first place.

He actually wanted to know the latest developments of the Arc Light Group and the New Tiangong Space Station. After all, their new International Space Station was about to start construction. The New Tiangong Space Station is the only space station in space, so their new International Space Station will inevitably be compared. of.

However, their space station has the advantage of being a latecomer, that is, it is larger than the Xintian Palace Space Station. Although it may be built later, it only needs to be big, and their technology is not far behind. At least the rotation of the standard equipment of large space stations There is a simulated gravity system.

Turns out he saw this on a whim.

Due to the special nature of his work and personal reasons, he knew Dong Chen, but it was absolutely impossible for the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration to cooperate with the Arc Light Group, so he only knew about it.

And this time he was shocked by this immature chairman of a super large group.

It seems that Arclight Group has been able to develop to this stage. It is true that Dong Chen is a super genius, but Sun Hao, as the general manager of the group, is the biggest contributor.

Valk looked at a form in front of him and asked Victor on his left, "Victor, your joint technical department should be completely fine, right? ESA, Japan, Canada, Are all the technical personnel that Football Country said they would send here in place?"

"Director, basically everyone is here," Victor said, flipping through the information in front of him. "There are only two technical engineers from Japan who have not arrived yet. The reply from Japan is that they have one more project." The research has not been completed and it may take some time to arrive.”

"Then let's push again. The agreed date is the day after tomorrow, but there are still people who haven't arrived, and the technical problem they are responsible for has not been solved." Valk frowned and looked at the information in front of him, then turned his head Ask Victor, "Do you know what's going on?"

Seeing that Valk was a little unhappy, Victor quickly said, "It's a joint research project between Japan and China on new materials. It's about space materials. That's why we looked for them. We just didn't expect them." We will conduct cooperative research with China."

"But now the two engineers are in China, and the research on this project is about to be successful. If Japan withdraws midway at this time, they will not be able to get the technical data."

"And this data is also very important for our project this time, so Japan postponed it and we agreed."

Valk frowned again after hearing this, because he heard a word here that he disliked very much, Huaguo.

He doesn't have a good impression of the Chinese country at all. It's just that the Chinese country has developed too fast in the past few years, and there is a tendency to catch up with the United States in all aspects. Now their major projects are inseparable from the indirect support of the Chinese country. This made him very uncomfortable.

But now, there is really no other way. They need that new material, so they have to endure their discomfort.

He turned the information in front of him to the Japanese part and found the list of technicians who were coming. He saw the list of the two technicians and the projects they were responsible for, as well as when those materials would be used.

"Apart from these two technical engineers from Japan, are there any other engineers who haven't arrived?" Valcke asked with a gloomy face.

"Not anymore, except they're all here," Victor said.

"That's good. Let your technical department start first. Don't waste time. You can take your time with that material and get other aspects done first." Valk knocked on the table and said.

"Okay, Chief," Victor replied with a nod.

After confirming the technical issues, Valcke asked about funding. Since it was a multi-country cooperation, the funding this time was also funded by multiple countries, but the proportions were different.

After being asked about these things one by one, Valcke's face looked quite ugly. Compared with the previous cooperation on the International Space Station, this cooperation was indeed a bit hasty, resulting in a lot of things not being kept up.

There are too many cooperating countries, and it is very difficult to coordinate in a short period of time. Fortunately, technology is now more advanced, and many steps can be omitted, otherwise it would be impossible to operate.

There were also staff from other cooperating countries in the conference room, and Valcke also conducted relevant consultations with them, but the results of the consultation... made him not very happy.
